Did I fall asleep - did they go under?
All their stuff that was on Squadron's
presell list (XP-40Q and P-61) has gone poof.

I realize it has taken them longer than either curtis
or northrop took to build the actual planes but the
pre-sell list just doesn't feel the same without them.

And what about the C-135 variants? They've been due anytime for some time.

And weren't they supposed to be re-releasing one of the 1/72 B-52H
molds with wing box corrections??

SMO must be having twubble. Fully one third of my order did not ship as SMO
was out of stock but did not so list on the web page when the order was
placed. Oh yeah, it's all the fault of the computer.
I did not receive the January supplement until the 10th of January. None
of the items from the supplement made it either. It's frustrating to order
and receive a kit only to find out that all of the aftermarket items are out
of stock. Maybe they will be restocked by June.

Hmmm - thats the reverse of my last squadron experience.
I got my January supplement at the end of December, ordered
7 items from the supplement, and they all shipped the next day.
Its one of the few times Squadron didn't B/O me on something.
